Reply #14: It would be nice

I really agree with you in everything you wrote. I spend most of my Internet time at conservative sites trying to present Liberal positions as calmly and compassionately as possible. I usually bend over backward to include examples of Lefty silliness in order to show them I can be balanced.

When I start to go into detailed rebuttal of their platitudes, they ban me from their site.

Today's banishment came when a moderator was saying that he as an American is not afraid, because he has guns to defend his family with. So, I pointed out specific evidence of fear, from buying the gun in the first place, committing the country to war over Saddam's imaginary WMDs, the bank-busting SDI program (fear of missles) residential segregation (fear of nonwhites), refusal to join the International Criminal Court (fear of being held accountable for covert actions), the fixed Florida election (fear of democracy), bailing out of the landmine treaty, bailing out of Kyoto, and about ten others.

I also named every country in Europe (and a few more) where people feel safe without having to resort to handguns.

Rather than meet my arguments, banishment. Again!

Gee. They sure do get sensitive.
